Wie sieht der Aufbau der Cambridge Advanced Certificate (CAE) Prüfung aus?

The Cambridge Advanced Certificate (CAE) exam, for example, is the English test that is recognized for admission to universities in the UK. The English certificate certifies knowledge according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) at the level of independent language use. If you pass the handwritten or computer-based test, you will receive a Cambridge Certificate that is valid for an unlimited period of time. The Cambridge Advanced Certificate tests the four skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking. The CAE exam is structured as follows:
